Racial abuse on board train between Leeds and Sheffield

Officers from British Transport Police are looking to identify them in connection to a disorderly incident including racial abuse on board a train between Leeds and Sheffield.

The incident happened between 4.50pm and 5.05pm on 21 February on board a Cross Country Trains service.

Passengers on board the train reported that a group of men, believed to be Leeds United fans, were being anti-social, chanting football songs loudly. The group’s behaviour worsened during the journey when some of the group became racially abusive.

A number of passengers were offended by their language.

Four images are today being released in relation to this investigation. Officers believe these men may have information which could help the investigation.
